Shoutout to the folks at Polytechnique (Montréal & Palaiseau) for their work just out in @Nature on how kirigami principles✂️ can be applied to make parachutes 🪂

Cutting a pattern into a flat disc can transform it into a parachute capable of carrying small payloads

Mucus films cover lung airways, but when do they block them? Beyond thickness and volume, intermediate films develop humps whose sliding and nonlinear growth can robustly form plugs, independent of gravity and ciliary transport.

I am teaching Intro to Robotics again at @Princeton. New this year: final project where students use imitation learning to make drones navigate! Starter code will be publicly available.

Happy to share our last paper 👉 https://t.co/cmwPEm8x1m where we show how beads can turn flexible fiber networks into load-bearing structures. Fun to build, tricky to crack—these metamaterials keep you on your toes! (literally) @LaurenDreier @Trev_J_Jones

More on collective behavior: Our new Annual Review of Biophysics piece - with the stellar Danielle Chase - explores how animals sense, share information, and make group decisions. In honeybees and beyond 🐝

Inspired by biological growth, scientists have developed a 3D printing method that ''grows'' objects from liquid resin using a self-propelling chemical reaction.

This approach enables the creation of beautiful, complex shapes like this helical horn.

Are you interested in a postdoc in fluid mechanics/ 3d printing/ soft robotics/ active matter... This call might be for you https://t.co/KWExpMmi5B
Reach out if interested, I am now in Belgium @KU_Leuven

[Nathan Vani @NathanBVani]

Our article on the junction of slender objects under tension has just been published @ESPCI_Paris! We discuss a cool phenomenon found in numerous systems, from kirigamis, kuttsukigami, and inflatables to more traditional tearing and peeling

Using propulsion systems like bows and spearthrowers, researchers have found that flexible, weighted-tip projectiles that wobble when thrown can achieve a kinetic energy gain of 160% over rigid ones.

📍 Location: The Leonardo Museum

[Matar Fluids Group @MatarLab]

#APSDFD2024 is about to start and 1st talk from the group is by @LKahouadji talking about T-Junction #Microfluidics. A join work with @ThamesUCL @uclchemeng @ImperialChemEng @PREMIERE_UKRI
@APSphysics @apsfluiddynamic

[American Physical Society @APSphysics]

Love science and art? You’ll want to stop by “Spiraling Upwards,” @apsfluiddynamic’s traveling exhibition of the Gallery of Fluid Motion. It delves into #FluidDynamics and Da Vinci’s fascination with flight.

Open through Jan. 31 at @the_leonardo.
